Hi Everyone,

We are passing the celebration of Veterans’ Day and thanking all that have secured and protected our freedoms. We are racing toward Thanksgiving, starting to think about Christmas or other religious celebrations and wondering where the last year went as we approach 2010. Without question 2009 has seen challenges that have tested our metal. However, I hope that through all the distractions we do not forget the true meanings of this Holiday season.

Hi Everyone,

The summer blew by us and now the holiday season is flying upon us. Soccer, football, and volleyball are over and basketball and wrestling are starting. For my family of four young kids, school activities really keep us hopping. Now add the holiday season and it sometimes seems we are moving at warp speed. Often times I have to stop to make sure I take time to be truly appreciative of all the blessings I have and contemplate the true meaning of these Holidays.  Please join me in being thankful for all we have and the wonderful freedoms this country provides by the many sacrifices of others.

Hi Everyone,

The summer is flying by but I hope that you have taken a moment to take a deep breath and enjoy the season and the people that are closest to you. I know that sometimes we think that things will stay the same forever only to have things change and we lose the opportunity forever.

A good example of that was......
